Docusign Envelope ID:42EBBFD1-A372-4270-8931-878516787035 Property Address 124 Fidelity Street,Unit Parcel ID or Abstract 9778561748.040 22 Statement of Appeal: Request a reduction in value based on the condition of the unit and the purchase price. Current Assessed Value $126,100 County Opinion $95,200 Time of Hearing 1:33 PM Appellant O inion $100,000 County Representative Scott Zeman Board Decision $95,200 Evidence submitted by the appellant: • 1 purchased the unit in March 2022 for$90,000, and no substantial improvements have been made since that time. The property remains largely original,with numerous deficiencies that I believe place its true market value closer to $100,000. Specific issues include Electrical: Original glass fuse panel still in place(not modern breakers). Heating&Cooling: Uses original baseboard heaters. The only air conditioning is an older wall/window unit,not central HVAC. Ceilings: Original ceiling tiles remain in the living room, dining area, and kitchen,not upgraded to smooth drywall. Kitchen: Dated condition with old tile flooring,painted cabinets, an older stove, original light fixtures, and no wall cutout(unlike many other Hillmont units). Lighting: No overhead lighting in the living room, and no electrical wiring has been run to support it. Flooring: Carpet in both the living room and bedroom is badly worn and outdated. Wall Finish: Living room still has original painted wood paneling,not smooth drywall. Bathroom: Contains original or very old plumbing fixtures,basic vanity, and damaged plumbing requiring replacement. Water Heater: 13 years old,beyond typical lifespan.Unit Location: This is a middle unit without corner windows,making it less desirable than some other units in the complex. Occupancy: Only 7 of the 48 units in Hillmont are owner-occupied, which may affect property value and desirability. Evidence submitted by the county representative: • An appraiser reviewed the property from the exterior on 7/30/2025. The county recommends the following changes based on the appellant's evidence and a sales analysis: -Reduce effective year built from 1995 to 1975 -Change condition from Average to Fair. -Change heat type from Combo H&A to Baseboard. These changes would result in an assessed value of$95,200. • Photos of Subject Property • Sales analysis • Current Property Record Card of Subject • Proposed Property Record Card of Subject Motion of the Board Accept the Coun 's revised value of$95,200 Made the motion Richal Vanhook Seconded the motion Sara Salvi Voted For Leon Me ers Voted Against
